The six-minute spot by NBC Sports features the character of Coach Lasso, played by the actor, return for a second year to promote NBC's coverage of the Barclays Premier League. The channel introduced him last year in a popular online film.

The sports retailer Under Armour has made it into number two in the chart this week.

The ballet ad, featuring the American ballerina Misty Copeland, by Droga5 New York, features the star showcasing her awe-inspiring moves while voiceover reads a letter of rejection from a ballet academy.

The letter explains that at age 13, she is too old to be considered and also has the "wrong torso length, bust and body for ballet". The strapline reads: "I will what I want." The ad has been shared nearly 40,000 times in a week.

Johnnie Walker's film starring Jude Law remains popular. It has jumped two places to number seven after being shared over 14,000 times in the past seven days.

The chart is complied by Unruly and ads 30-days-old or older are not included.
